Pro2Serve Inc. promised to match the first $5,000 in donations for Roane Imagination Library last year, kicking off the yearly fundraising endeavor.
This year, the company raised the bar and promised to match up to $7,500.

Roane Imagination Library is well on its way to reaching that goal, thanks to a gift of $2,000 by Material and Chemistry Laboratory Inc. given at a reception honoring Pro2-Serve.

Last month the Roane County Board of Education approved the first reading of a revision to its policy on drug testing for student athletes. The revised policy would take effect if the board approves it on second reading this month.

“What we’re taking out of the policy actually does make it stronger,” Board Member Wade McCullough said.

The revision will remove the opt-out clause in the policy and make all student athletes subject to random drug testing.
